Daily Inspections and Maintenance: Perform thorough pre-operation inspections to ensure crane functionality and safety. Promptly report any mechanical issues to the maintenance team for resolution.

Safety and Compliance: Follow all safety procedures and wear required PPE at all times. Maintain a strong safety mindset and ensure compliance with OSHA and company standards.

Communication and Coordination: Work closely with riggers and ground crews using hand signals, radios, or other communication tools to ensure safe and accurate lifts. Collaborate with team members to execute lifts smoothly and efficiently.

Project Execution: Meet project timelines while maintaining high standards of workmanship. Pay close attention to detail and contribute to the overall success of each job.
